I love your" I can do it" attitude, and that you shared it with us. I love your philosophy of how we should understand the fundamentals. Your sodium silicate solution has too much free sodium hydroxide which will draw water from the air. Even the silicate will hold water until it is heated which will cause problems. Try putting just enough sodium silicate to hold and mix in fine silica sand. After you get the material on the rod expose it to high concentration CO2 to 'set' or harden the silicate. This happens very quickly at high CO2 concentrations. After exposure to CO2 sodium silicate turns to SiO2 (sand) and Sodium Carbonate. It is the method they use on hardened sand molds. Another test you could do is to remove the coatings on some commercial rods and try your mix on them. It will point to where the deficiency is. Thanks again

@metalheadguy2109 5 лет назад

You should try grinding the paper into a powder and making a flux pulp that you dip the rods in for a more even coat

@Koronzon444 3 года назад

6011 will weld through small amounts of rust, all the other rods require a clean surface for a strong arc. Your rods may have less conductivity than the factory made versions in which case you will need more amps.

@nutchunder 3 года назад

as a welder, this was painful to watch. but your enthusiasm was pretty good

@MannoMax Месяц назад

The issue of unstable arc is also sorta because were used to modern RR electrodes, which have a very forgiving and solid arc. In the early days of arc welding, they actually used unshielded electrodes quite often, and, having tried that myself, your electrode control needs to be perfectly on point, the arc is very fragile, so I think even a simple shielding like this should be a good step up.

@elmersackanay6944 3 года назад

Hmmmm a thought occurred, in the coating mixture use some kind of glue while also compressing it no paper and maybe knurling the rod. Also hanging the rods from a vertical position while drying. I’m not good with sentencing but I hope you get the idea

@WalterMelones 10 месяцев назад

I'd like to see you go full Applied Science on this and try making 6010 1/8th" rod.

@FrankSiler Год назад

Have you considered starting with something like ER70 rod and maybe even make a collab with one of the welding channels and see what they think? Love the content.

Thats not bad for homemade welding rods. Its really hard to replicate industrial manufactured rods but good for you

@ArteOni91 4 года назад

hey, I really like your investigation, wile i was watching the video, 2 ideas came to me, 1) have you try to hang the electrodes inside the oven to dry? like from the top, or maybe using some kind of structure, a wire one, and 2) what if, insted of paper, that break easyly while you wrap it, you use some kind of string, maybe cotton or wool, that may make easy the wraping and also suck te flux mix, anyway, i really like your video, thanks for sharing

@ResistanceLion Год назад

@SolarSeeker45 Год назад

Probably best to avoid hygroscopic compounds. You would probably get better results with a mixture of baking soda and crushed glass.

@whoTheHeckChoseThis 3 года назад

a few things, when yous aid 'weld any position' the position (overhead, vertical, horizontal) is, to my understanding, independent of the weld angle you were talking about also paper is cellulose which is a primary ingredient in many rods, 6010 for example is a high cellulose rod

@whoTheHeckChoseThis 3 года назад

but this video is amazing and I totally want to try it now, thank you for your insight especially about the stoichiometric reality vs the theory

@whoTheHeckChoseThis 3 года назад

to clarify, I mean that the 'all positions' refers to the weld pool behavior since a fast-freeze you don't have to worry about it dripping down on you in overhead

@deserticus18 4 года назад

i think the main reason why weld broke was the material of the hanger, try with twisted mig wire, about the coating ill do some experimentation, FYI the last time i bought a welding rod was a long time ago, i make my own welding rods

@mauiztic 4 года назад

Is that really efficient? Would you recommend it? I'm wondering if it's worth my time learning to make my own if at the end I'll just go back to store bought rods

@deserticus18 4 года назад

the mig wire is 0.030 ,just use them when welding very thin materials

@ShaneGadsby 5 лет назад

This was amazing, great work! I'm curious about your choice of silica balls instead of cat litter (as per the NR video linked). Did you just happen to have a bunch of silica packets around? Regardless, keep up the awesome!

@SciCynicalInventing 5 лет назад

Yeah funny enough Ive been just collecting silca gel packets every chance I got for this project. I only trusted packets thats literally were labelled "Silica Gel" as some specific packets can have mixtures of activated carbon, iron, and silica gel or something else entirely. The different colored beads were due to indicator put in them that turned a different color when moisture was adsorbed. So nothing really special about the silica, but I would go with the cat litter if you need it in bulk, thanks for the comment!

@DaveSmith-cp5kj 4 года назад

Silica gel is more pure than cat litter which has other additives that need to be removed.

@ivan-do8od Год назад

@@DaveSmith-cp5kj a good alternative is floor dry the stuff that's meant for absorbing spills of oil off shop floors is pure silicon dioxide. Enough can't be said about wearing mask when using these products. Silicon dioxide does similar damage to one's lungs that asbestos does.

It is practically impossible to weld rusty metals. You failed through incompetence and lazyness and not because the method doesn't work.

@d.jensen5153 3 года назад

Running a bead on a rusty piece of metal with a commercial electrode works pretty well, especially with a sparky rod like 6011. I'd be willing to post some pics. Not saying one shouldn't make an effort to remove rust before welding, just saying I think you're way over the top on your criticism.

@antilogism 3 года назад

Quick repairs on rusty, painted, plated, oily stuff is one of the great advantages of cellulosic rods.

@yeet3071 2 года назад

Nah man I can make a weld on an old rusty circular sawblade without removeing the rust and it will not break before the metal bends and I've litterly just started welding with my own welder I got today only other time I've welded was with a welder at school once for 15 mins. 6011 will weld rust no problem painted and plated surfaces may be a problem tho
